FIRST Class of 2016: Where are we going?

Hello Chief Delphi,

This thread is meant to be the 2016 version of this thread. This is a place for high school seniors in the FIRST community to post the colleges and/or military programs they're applying to, and then come back to edit them once they fully know where they will be going!

I'll start. I'm applying to:

WPI
Carnegie Mellon
Caltech
MIT
RIT
University of Texas at Arlington
University of Texas at Dallas
University of Texas of the Permian Basin

.

Re: FIRST Class of 2016: Where are we going?

Applying to:
University of Michigan Ann Arbor
Carnegie Mellon University
Stanford University (ea)
Princeton University
Harvard College
Rice University
Yale University
University of Pennsylvania (possibly)
Caltech (possibly)
MIT (possibly) (didn't want to because their app process is long but I'm getting harassed by them over my SAT2 scores)
WPI (possibly)
Michigan Tech (possibly)

(Might be missing a couple. All the possibles are ones who's apps I haven't done yet. If I get accepted to any one of those besides Ann Arbor i won't send any more )

I'm just shotgunning all the schools that will be able to give me a full ride based on financial aid.. I already have enough work experience that going somewhere small like LTU won't really help my career.
